Testimonials

I first visited Todays Healthcare when I was pregnant with my first child. I had severe pain in my lower back and down the back of my right leg. I saw the Chiropractor who made me feel really comfortable and asked me all about my problem. I was reassured by the care and patience shown to me during my treatments, which made me even more determined to find a solution to my back pain. I was told that I had sciatica, which is common in late pregnancy. I had eight treatments over a period of two months that made me aware of my posture and relieved the pain in my back and leg. I was so pleased with the outcome and the experience that I have continued with my progress and I have started attending the Pilates classes at the clinic, which are held by the chiropractor who is also a qualified Pilates rehabilitation Instructor. Pilates helps me to maintain my mobility, stretches my back muscles and keeps the pain at bay. I can now participate in swimming and walking, which were hard to do before.

Garry's Pilates sessions are fun and hard work without you realising just how hard you are working. He explains the principles of the exercises clearly then gradually introduces routines of increasing difficulty, never pushing and always helpful. Since starting Pilate's sessions, I have felt fitter, and recurring morning stiffness in the lower back has become a thing of the past, my posture seems to have improved, too.

I went to see Garry Russell as a chiropractor because I had considerable pain in my left knee, which was causing me to limp and made walking long distances exhausting. From the beginning Garry approached the problem in a holistic way. Being forced to really look at myself changed my life.

I saw Garry regularly for the next 3 months for chiropractic treatment which also incorporated acupuncture. The treatment was very intensive because most of my major muscles had been misused for a long time. Garry explained everything very clearly so that I could understand the logic to the treatment and that helped me to cooperate and do follow up activities at home. Initially, without me realising it I began to feel stronger and more positive and this has had many beneficial effects on the rest of my life.

From the beginning I was fascinated by the Pilates studio next door to the treatment room and I have recently moved from having treatments to working in the Pilates machines. The exercises are based on breath control and pelvic core stability and for me everything is a personal challenge where although I have a long way to go I can see small glimmers of progress all the time. I have more energy, more strength and more flexibility of movement. Garry is an excellent teacher and uses the knowledge, which he has gained during the chiropractic sessions to devise my programme. There are never more than three people in each class and even if they are at different levels of ability, he is able to focus on each person individually, using a combination of demonstration, visualisation and guidance. This has not been a quick fix experience more an ongoing journey.

I was recommended to Garry Russell when I had back trouble and I have just completed a course of chiropractic treatment with excellent results. I also started Pilates in December and as someone who did very little exercise was very apprehensive. However, Garry has given me the confidence to continue and it has certainly proved to be very beneficial. Garry has understanding and an excellent manner and I can recommend him highly.
